We only speak English on the main help boards. If you want to ask questions in Spanish, please ask here: Español . If you want to continue here in English, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to record something, if so what? And what version of Audacity and Windows? Or are you trying to measur...

I'm more interested in the HDD intense tasks. That's what really slows down the experience. Importing is pure HDD performance. But once you've imported the audio file, Audacity still goes really slow when working with language tracks from films. It's slow when zooming in, moving within the track (f...

I have attached a couple of the WAV files that I resampled from 8000Hz to 16000Hz. The bigger file became about twice as big, and the smaller file became about four times bigger than an original file. My expectations were that both will about double its original size. The smaller 8000 Hz file is 8-...

I have a quite counter-intuitive situation. I have several smallmono WAV audio files with the bitrate 8000, and the depth 16-bit. I need to convert them to the WAV with the bitrate 16000Hz, and the same depth 16-bit. The correct terminology might be less confusing. I assume you meant to convert a s...

As far as I know, in Audacity WASAPI only works in Loopback mode where you are recording the output from your soundcard. That's for recording streaming audio or internal computer sounds (i.e. "What-You-Hear" from your computer speakers.) Actually it depends on you computer and drivers. It...

I recently saved a project on my laptop (Audacity 2.0.5, windows 7) and when I opened it again the error dialog said it had 2 missing block files. One of them ended with ".au.au", and removing the extra ".au" fixed it. The other file name was "Arial.au". I was able to ...

Please read the pink panel at the top of this page and give us the necessary information. I got a Blue Snowball ICE at Christmas Time and since then I had no problems with it, and I use Audacity to record with it. But recently, during recordings, the pitch of my voice will change to a deep voice the...

Please install Audacity properly rather than run it from the DMG, then you won't have the problem:

Using 2.x on Windows 7. You can be using Audacity 2 and still have a bogus or fake Audacity. The current version is 2.1.0. When you install a fresh Audacity it will ask you if you want to reset the preferences. Say yes. That should give you a "clean" install. http://audacityteam.org/downl...
